Do those geckos bother people, like get in your car, house, pests or are they kinda like snakes, you leave them alone and they leave you alone. ----------6
The tan colored house geckos are nocturnal so you rarely see them except at night when you flip on the kitchen light. They feed on the roaches, termites, and ants that are so common in the islands, and keep them under control pretty good. Only thing is their poop which resembles mice dung but not as smell or plentiful. Reptiles poop less than mammals just because they eat less. They also make allot of noise at night with their territorial cries which are a series of loud clicks which can wake you up.
The day geckos as you can guess are diurnal so they cruise in the day, and sleep at night. They like to keep their distance from people unless you get in the habit of feeding them, then they start associating you with food so will come right up and eat a bug out of your hand. They are pretty cool creatures, I like having them around especially because these day geckos prefer being outside in green foliage feeding on bugs than in a home like the house geckos.
I used to have a couple "pet" wolf spiders in my home when I lived on the Big Island of Hawai'i. They were scary at first but you get used to seeing them, and they eat large roaches so they were more than welcome.
Now centipedes they are never welcome in the house. I've been bitten 3 times in my sleep, hate them monsters. Stay outside and they are okay but never welcome indoors.
